Clarity on after 

hours sought 

By DAVID HILL, 

Local Democracy Reporter 

The community needs clarity 

around when anew Rangiora 

after hours medical facility will 

be built, says Waimakariri MP 

Matt Doocey. 

The Associate Health 

Minister welcomed news South 

Link Health Group has 

obtained aconsent to build a 

new medical centre at the 

Rangiora Health Hub on 

Ashley Street. 

But the notforprofithealth 

provider has yet to announce 

when the build will start or set 

atimeframe for its completion. 

The Ministry of Health 

entered into an agreement with 

South Link Health Group in 

2021, following apetition 

calling for after hours 

healthcare being presented to 

the former CanterburyDistrict 

Health Board (CDHB) two 

years earlier. 

‘‘It is now time the 

community got some clarity for 

when construction will start, 

and when it will open because 

the community has been 

waiting for along time,’’ Mr 

Doocey says. 

ASouth Link Health Group 

spokesperson says the provider 

has been busy completing the 

merger of two medical 

practices and ‘‘future proofing’’ 

the operation ahead of building 

the new medical centre. 

Now known as Rangiora 

Medical, the practice will 

continue to operate from two 

locations, Good Street and 

Victoria Street, until the new 

facility opens. 

In the meantime, 

recruitment of medical 

professionals remains a 

challenge, the spokesperson 

said. 

‘‘There just isn’t enough GPs 

to go around,’’ she says. ‘‘We 

are in agood position of being 

anotforprofit, which is areal 

point of difference for us. But it 

doesn’t make it any easier.’’ 

Mr Doocey says the 

Government increased funding 

in Budget 2024 for the training 

of GPs. It will allow for more 

places at the Auckland and 

Otago University medical 

schools, while anew medical 

school was opening at Waikato 

University ‘‘with afocus on 

serving rural and regional New 

Zealand’’. 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan 

Gordon says he is keeping in 

regular contact with South 

Link Health Group and hopes 

to hear an update soon. 

‘‘The new centre, which 

received abuilding consent last 

month, will mean our residents 

have access to extended hours 

of medical care as well as hightech 

imaging radiology right 

here in North Canterbury. 

‘‘This project is the result of 

huge investment and 

commitment from South Link 

Health Group, Pacific 

Radiology and the local GPs. 

There is no doubt Rangiora 

Medical has faced its fair share 

of setbacks, but the passion and 

dedication from those involved 

in this project has been 

unwavering.’’ 

South Link Health Group, 

which is anetwork of 26 

medical practises, is 

responsible for funding and 

constructing the new facility. It 

will include full radiology 

services (ultrasound, CT and 

MRI scans), GP services, a 

pharmacy, and urgent after 

hours healthcare.

Bringing teddys back to life 

By JOHN COSGROVE 

In an old black and white photo 

dating from 1917, an eightyearold 

girl happily shows off her new 

British teddy bear. 

Over 100 years later it has 

helped build the foundation of a 

teddy bear hospital in Kaiapoi. 

The young girl was Kaiapoi 

resident Suzanne Irvine’s 

grandmother Florence Fransden, 

and for over 107 years ‘‘OldTed’’ 

the teddy bear has been watching 

over generations of the Irvine 

family. 

The care of Old Ted over the 

years inspired the former CTV 

camerawoman to start her Teddy 

Bear Hospital. 

Afew years ago she started 

making and repairing teddy bears 

parttime, but her love for 

repairing and restoring old 

heritage bears saw her opening 

the teddybearhospital.co.nz. 

The mohair British Teddy Bear 

was made by the Terry Toy 

Company in East London and had 

travelled to aCanterbury toy shop 

sometime before 1914. 

In 1917 he was purchased by 

some of Florence’s family 

members who bought him to aid 

in her recovery from anearfatal 

bout of illness and athree month 

stay in hospital. 

When the photo was taken in 

1917, three of her brothers went 

off to WW1, never to return. 

‘‘Old Ted sat on asmall chair in 

the lounge of the family home on 

Moorhouse Ave. 

‘‘My dad was an only child and 

he wasn’t allowed to play with 

him, and neither were we ever 

allowed to touch him. 

‘‘That’s why he was in such good 

condition, as he just sat there, out 

of the sun,’’ Suzanne says.

The excitement, drama and 

unpredictability of live theatre came into 

play at the final rehearsal of Rangiora 

High School’s latest theatrical production 

We Will Rock You. 

Technical issues delayed the start of 

the rehearsal and performers quickly 

learnt that even the softest backstage 

whisper will be picked up by the live 

microphones they all wear. 

But oncethe show got under way one 

thing became clear. 

This musical is no amateur high school 

production. 

It is aslick, polished, highly enjoyable 

show that could easily run in acity 

theatre and the talented young 

performers in it are stars in the making 

with abright future in theatre if they 

choose. 

The show’s coproducer Bex McLean, 

who is director of performing arts and 

teacher of commerce and dance at 

Rangiora High School, was thrilled with 

the rehearsal. 

‘‘It was brilliant with great energy from 

students, plus their hair/makeup and 

costumes, along with the sound and 

lighting aspects, were all just awesome,’’ 

she said. 

‘‘There were afew technical 

difficulties, but you always expect that 

when you have so many movingparts to 

bring together, and the tech crew hustled 

and handled it so well, as did the 

performers and band.’’ 

The result comes after many months of 

planning, preparation and hard work 

from everyone involved in the production 

including director Bryony Jamison, a 

highly regarded, widely experienced 

Old Ted now sparkling after hospital stay 

From Page 1 

Old Ted was later passed on to 

Suzanne’s father Martyn Irvine, a 

retired carpenter, and in time he will 

passhim on to Suzanne who has 

recently restored him to his former 

glory. 

‘‘Four generations of my family have 

worked on ‘Old Ted' to preserve his 

stability. 

‘‘There were old stitches on his ears 

which my greatgrandmother would 

have done. 

‘‘Grandma kept him together sewing 

him up when the stitches failed over the 

years. 

‘‘My dad tidied him upand replaced 

the eyes,and now I’ve cleaned him up 

and strengthened him so he’s looking as 

bright and sparkly as he was when he 

first came into our family.’’ 

Suzanne says Old Ted has ashine on 

his fur now that he never had before. 

Sixty years of sitting near an open fire 

had coated Old Ted’s fur in black

The hope is the production will 

promote the arts at Rangiora High School. 

It certainly has the quality to do that, 

and Bex is hoping the North Canterbury 

community will take the opportunity to 

support everyone involved with the show 

by attending it and telling their friends

I’ve only been in business for four 

weeks and people from all over are 

calling me up, surprised there is ateddy 

bear hospital service here in Kaiapoi.’’ 

‘‘That one Ihad to put in the freezer 

for 48 hourstokill off all the bugs, now

restoration work starts.’’ 

Suzanne says she has been surprised 

by the demand for her skills. 

‘‘It’s been crazy the demand, with 

many calls coming from Canterbury and 

just as many from cities up north.’’ 

She says Old Ted epitomises the 

physical longevity of heritage family 

bears. 

‘‘They honour the legacy and heritage 

they represent in afamily’s history. 

We Will Rock You,which is based on the 

music of British rock band Queen, tells 

the futuristic story of agroup of 

‘‘Bohemians’’. 

The Bohemians are fighting to restore 

freedom of thought in an Orwellian 

society where ‘‘Planet Earth’’ has been 

renamed ‘‘Planet Mall’’, and all noncomputer 

generated music has been 

banned. 

The show, in the Rangiora High School 

hall, runs until Saturday (June 22). 

Tickets are $25 per person through the 

online ticketing platform Humanatix. 

‘‘It’s time for people to dig out these 

old bears from storage and create a 

lasting family heirloom for future 

generations to enjoy.’’ 

In 1890, William J. Terry founded his 

toy factory, based in east London. The 

company was already famous for its soft 

toys before producing its first teddy 

bears in the early 1900s. Englishbears, 

like Old Ted, usually had glass eyes 

with painted backs. The webbed claw 

stitching on the bear's paws is another 

characteristic of English bears. W.J. 

Terry died in 1924 and his son took over 

the company but just before the Second 

World War, the factory was shut down. 

Made between 1905 and 1908 from 

shaggy mohair and stuffed with wood 

wool and kapok, these dolls set the 

standard for British toy bears. 

Certified Terry bears like Old Ted, 

now sell at international auctions for 

over NZD$2000 while many others 

reside in museums suchasthe Victoria

Helping farewell pets peacefully 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Saying goodbye to much loved petscan 

be one of the hardest decision pet owners 

have to make. 

Veterinarian Janine Cumming is 

helping make this decision easier by 

offering apeaceful and personal 

farewell in the comfort of people’s 

homes. 

Janine, who is North Canterburybased, 

has begun ahome euthanasia 

service, to help pet owners farewell their 

friends in adignified, respectful and 

stressfree environment in their own 

homes. 

She says euthanising animals is one of 

the most important things avet has to do. 

‘‘It is such aprivilege and people are so 

grateful.’’ 

Janine says it is the ‘‘most beautiful 

feeling’’ when people are able to farewell 

their pet in the comfort of their own 

home. 

It ensures the animal’s last memory is 

not the sterility of aclinic environment, 

which some hated visiting. 

‘‘I understand that some animals have 

alot of anxiety and fear surrounding 

visiting the vet clinic, and therefore 

being at home and saying goodbye can 

make this already difficult process a 

little easier,’’ she says. 

Janine decided to offer an at home 

euthanasia service, after having to put 

some of her own family’s much loved 

older dogs to sleep in her own home, and 

seeing how stressfree and peaceful the 

process could be. 

It was an environment in which she 

could explain what was happening to her

family dog, Falcon.

young daughter Neva, and help her 

understand that it was all ‘‘part of life’’, 

which was a‘‘really important part of 

learning’’. 

‘‘I realised how lucky my family was to 

have this service readily available to us. 

‘‘I believe every pet deserves a 

dignified transition, surrounded by love 

and familiarity in their home 

environment.’’ 

Janine, who worked as avet in a 

Christchurch veterinary practice for 

about 20 years, decided about three years 

ago to start up an animal chiropractic 

service —Animal Motion NZ —and work 

part time at the clinic. 

When deciding to offer pet euthanasia, 

she then gave up work at the practice. 

‘‘It fits in nicely with the animal 

chiropractic service, and flexible enough 

for me to do both, as there are no set 

hours.’’ 

Clients can contact her through her 

lovedpets.co.nz website. 

Janine then reaches out to the client, 

chats to them about the service if they 

wish, and makes atime. 

She also offers to have their pet 

cremated, and to return their ashes to 

the family home. 

‘‘About 70 percent do cremation, others 

bury their pet at home. 

‘‘I can take away all those decisions, 

and get it all sorted for them.’’ 

Janine says vets used to do alot of 

home visits, but with busy schedules now 

many were unable to spare the time. 

Being such abig occasion, it was 

important that the pet owners were not 

rushed. 

Several vets are now referring clients 

to her. 

‘‘As aveterinarian, Iunderstand the 

deep bond we share with our pets, and 

the difficult decisions we have to make.’’

Anose trained for disasters 

ByJOHN COSGROVE 

Findingpeople buried under 

earthquake debris or trapped in 

collapsed buildings is what aselect 

group of Canterbury dogs train most 

weekends for. 

Their training is so they can do the 

job quickly and safely when the need 

arises, in locations that are often too 

dangerous for their handlers to enter. 

Run entirely by volunteers, the 

Southern Training Group for the 

Urban Search and Rescue(USAR) 

Search Dog Association holds onsite 

trainingexercises to keep their dogs at 

operational status. 

Five dogs and their handlers spent 

the weekend searching for hidden 

victims inside Rangiora Racecourse 

buildings and in anearby quarry 

rubble pile. 

The dogs were either qualified or 

workingtowards being declared 

operational. 

USAR national dog trainer Colin 

Howard says only six dogs nationally 

are fully trained for this type of work, 

as it takes 12 to 24 months to train a 

dog. 

Their training involves manyhours 

spent by their volunteer owners 

working with their dogs, teaching them 

ways to search based on smell or sound 

across terrains as open as office blocks 

or as rugged as quarry piles. 

Jenny Gardner of Waipara and 

Poppy, athreeyearold collie, are 

already operational, meaning they can 

be called out at any moment to a 

disaster area to search for survivors. 

‘‘I have always wanted to be involved 

in helping my community. Working 

with Poppy is agreat way to make that 

happen,’’ says Jenny. 

Jenny has been involvedwith USAR 

for three and ahalf years and has

spent the past year and ahalf training 

with Poppy. 

‘‘It’s been an awesome experience as 

Ihave learnt so much. The situations 

Poppy andItrain in are always very 

challenging and exciting. It is great 

watching her work as she is avery 

smart dog.’’ 

Jenny says training the search dogs 

isn’t easy as it takes many people to 

make it work. ‘‘Ownerscan’t do it on 

their own, they need help and support 

from many to achieve the result of an 

operationally qualified search dog, 

who will find people in some the worst 

places you can imagine.’’ 

Charges looked at 

for official requests 

By DAVIDHILL, 


ANorth Canterbury 

council is considering 

charging for official 

information requests, as 

it struggles to keep up 

with demand. 

In areport to recent 

council committee 

meeting, Waimakariri 

District Council 

governance team leader 

Thea Kunkel said the 

council had responded to 

nearly 300 requests for 

information in the last 12 

months, received under 

the Local Government 

Official Information and 

Meetings Act. 

Councillors were due to 

workshop adraft 

charging policy this 

month, before adopting it 

at the next month’s 

council meeting. 

Chief executive Jeff 

Millward said the 

requests were adding to 

staff workload. 

‘‘We are making sure 

we respond to them 

promptly, but it is causing 

quite abit of work.’’ 

The legislation allowed 

for councils to charge for 

costs associated with 

processing arequest, but 

to date hasn’t charged for 

an official information 

request. 

But three recent 

requests were 

‘‘considered substantial’’. 

Staff advised there 

would be acharge if the 

work was under taken, 

the report said. 

The council received 71 

requests between March 

and May, compared to 61 

for the same period last 

year and 32 in 2022. 

Staff have spent 194 

hours responding to 

requests over the last 

three months and it was 

estimated to have cost the 

council $8588. 

Charging guidelines 

provided by the Ministry 

of Justice suggested staff 

time be charged at $76 

per hour, with no charge 

for the first hour. 

The requests were for 

information on arange of 

topics. 

These included 

drainage, proposed solar 

farms and other consent 

applications, property 

purchases, security at 

council facilities, threats 

to councillors and staff, 

and annual plan 

processes. 

One recent request 

wanted information 

regarding Kintyre Lane 

in Ohoka from 2007 

onwards. 

Staff estimated it would 

take more than 40 hours 

to collate the information.

Safety improvements canned 



Motorists could be paying atoll to drive on 

the Woodend Bypass when it is completed. 

Meanwhile, planned safety 

improvements to the area have been 

canned for now, as officials review the 

planned work as part of the Woodend 

Bypass design. 

The Government is considering a 

proposal for its promised roads of national 

significance to be partially funded by a 

toll. 

New Zealand TransportAgency Waka 

Kotahi said the Woodend Bypass has been 

confirmed as one of the first five roads of 

national significance and that asafety 

review will be undertaken. 

Associate TransportMinister Matt 

Doocey said the Government has backed 

recommendations by Waka Kotahi to 

introduce tolls in its Government Policy 

Statement on Land Transport. 

‘‘As aGovernment, we are open to a 

wide range of funding tools to ensure we 

are able to deliver the roads that will allow 

kiwis and freight to get to where they want 

to go quickly and safely.’’ 

Safety improvements for Woodend’s 

Main North Road were announced in 

December 2022, as part of a$35 million 

funding package for State Highway 1 

between Saltwater Creek and Cam River, 

with work due to begin this year. 

But Mr Doocey said it made sense to 

have another look at the work programme. 

‘‘When you look at the Woodend safety 

improvement programme, it was in 

response to Labour cancelling the bypass, 

so it is right to relook at that programme in 

the context of the new motorway.’’ 

Waka Kotahi had previously advised the 

safety improvements were on hold, 

pending the revised GPS on Land 

Transport. 

The former Labourled Government 

Roading solutions ... Transport Minister Simeon Brown (left) visited Woodend last year 

to discuss transport issues with AA Canterbury /West Coast district councillor Alan Turner 

and Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey.

included the Woodend Bypass in its GPS 

on Land Transport announced in August 

last year. 

Funding was also announced in 

December 2022 for a$6million project, 

including cycleways linking Kaiapoi, 

Woodend and Pegasus, as part of Waka 

Kotahi’s Transport Choices Programme. 

But the programme was axed last 

December by the Nationalled 

Government. 

Mr Doocey said the proposed cycleways 

and an underpass at the Pegasus 

roundabout would be considered as part of 

the final bypass design. 

‘‘When you look at the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor, the (Christchurch to 

Kaiapoi) cycleway was an important part 

of it, so Ithink it would make sense to 

consider the cycleways and an underpass 

as part of the bypass design.’’ 

WoodendSefton Community Board 

chairperson Shona Powell said she 

welcomed news about the bypass, but the 

safety improvements were needed now. 

‘‘It will take several years to build the 

bypass. It is just getting frustrating.’’ 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon said he 

had been seeking clarity about the 

promised safety improvements without 

success. 

But he welcomed Mr Doocey’s 

comments that the cycleway and underpass 

would be considered as part of the 

final design. 

‘‘It makes total sense to construct this as 

part of the works and Iknow the 

community would be thrilled to have these 

included. 

‘‘This is an incredibly important project 

for our district and Iamdelighted by the 

depth of consideration the Government is 

giving to it.’’ 

He would also like to see acycleway 

cliponadded to the State Highway 1 

bridge over the AshleyRakahuri River.

OPINION 


Mayor Marie Black 

Fundingroading and 

impacts in the future 

Ratepayers frequently contact councilto 

raise matters relating to roading. 

The strategic approach for elected 

members was to respond through the 

LongTerm Plan, and haveamuch 

stronger focus on improving the state of 

our roading network. 

Council proposed an ambitious 

roadingprogramme to deliver amuchneeded 

investment in roading. 

Last week we received the indicative 

allocation of funding from New Zealand 

TransportAgency (NZTA) for 20242027, 

and although this allocation sits 

favourablyagainst the 20212024 

formula, it barely covers inflation and 

has tighter definitions for the 

expenditure. 

It does not match the funding required 

to drive substantial improvements in our 

roading network. 

Also, we have recently heard from 

NZTA that they are proposingachange 

to the Emergency work investment 

policy which will impact on what, and 

when, we can apply for additional 

roading funding to supportworks 

required after an event. 

Natural events such as weather bombs 

already places significantfinancial 

pressure on the Hurunui District 

Council to meet the required service 

levels, and find any additional roading 

budget following an emergency. 

NZTA proposed changes will shift the 

qualification of funding from 1in10 

year, to 1in20 year eventstatus, and to 

halve the uplift in emergencyfunding 

from 20 percent to 10%. 

This will inevitably shift the financial 

burden to ratepayers.

We considerthis shiftisatodds with 

the frequency and severity of events, and 

places financial strain on our capacity to 

restore essentialinfrastructure and 

services. 

These changeswill be of interest to 

many of you, and no doubt you will be 

following the topic across all media 

platforms. 

We areadvocating to ensure we are 

best placed to meet your level of 

expectation with afunding resource that 

is supported not just through your rates, 

but through the allocated subsidy from

Our message to the governmentisthat 

the fundingsystem for roading is not 

achieving the outcomesthat the 

community wants,and that too much 

roading money is spentonregulatory 

conformance, not fixingroads. 

The meaningofMatariki 

The stars were used as signals.Ifthe 

stars were clear and bright it was a 

signal that afavourable and productive 

season lay ahead. 

Matariki is an important celebration 

of all that is good about life on earth, and 

to show respect on the land that we live. 

Connecting with the stars reminds us 

of ourwhakapapa and those who have 

passed to the heavens. 

While for some the celebration of 

Matariki is new, it is very closely aligned 

to the guidance of our forebears and the 

hope that the stars will in fact bringa 

favourable and productive season. 

Whatever this meanstoyou, Ihope you 

can look forward to the new season of 

promise. 

Kia kaha –bestrong.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 

Ahuge thank you 

Dear Editor, 

Some 20 months ago Iwas diagnosed 

with adisease that seems to appear far 

too regularly these days. However, this 

letter is not all about me, but is about the 

excellent care Ihave received from, 

primarily, Pacific Radiology Southern 

Cross, Burwood Radiology plus the 

Respiratory, Urology, Radiation and 

Oncology units at at Christchurch 

Hospital. 

The doctors,nurses and staff have all 

been so professionalintheir approach 

and we have also had some fun along the 

way. 

The empathy and compassion they 

have displayedtoboth my family and 

myself has been absolutely top drawer. 

These people obviously go on shift with 

the mindset of having apositive impact 

on their patients care. They deserve 

every accolade that may be bestowed on 

them. 

We as afamily will never forget what 

they have done for us. 

Ahuge thank you to you all. 

Yours, 

Allan Jenkins,Woodend

drought decimating not just the land but 

bank balances of those farming which 

will very likely continue well into next 

year or longer. 

Time for the Hurunui Irrigation 

Project to be completed huh? Both it 

and the Glenmark scheme were 

Treasury casualties of the mid 80s and 

onward and no “party” has 

acknowledged the massive contribution 

both have made, and are still making, to 

the economy, e.g. over $20 minexcise 

tax per year from the paltry 1300 ha of 

vines surrounding Waipara which would 

be adrop in the “milk bucket” of the 

returns from the Amuri scheme! 

Lake Sumner is already a“pumped” 

hydro scheme in waiting (every time a 

NW spills over the Alps!) and thousands 

of years old technology awaits to be used 

to harness it for power AND irrigation. 

Iwas the local Fed Farmers Chairman 

during the 1970s prolonged drought and 

we at least had agovernment in tune 

with the land and people who were not 

slow in authorising free cartage, by rail 

from Otago for any feed to help which 

were unshipped and distributed at 

Waipara. 

‘‘A medium scale’’ adverse event gets 

$170,000 to Rural Trusts. In aword— 

pathetic —especially when measured 

alongside the losses that are happening 

here and now. 

Not even aministerial salary!

John McCaskey, Waipara

Illegal hunting upsetting Hurunui farmers 


Hurunui farmers and the police are 

concerned about illegal hunting 

activities along the Conway and 

Charwell Rivers in the Hurunui 

district. 

Several Hurunui farmers worry 

someone may be injured as illegal 

spotlight hunters in vehicles 

callously shoot deer andsheep along 

the river banks. 

One farmer, who has been farming 

there over eight years and asked not to 

be named, says he is distressed by the 

numbers of dead deer and sheep he’s 

seen abandoned on the river beds and 

banks. 

‘‘There are lots of deer and pigs on 

the properties surrounding me and 

this attracts shooters. 

‘‘Some are on properties used for 

dedicated deer stalking businesses, 

but some hunters are continuing to 

drive up and down the river beds at 

night using spotlights and shooting 

anythingthat moves even though this 

is illegal. 

‘‘Recently Icame across three sheep 

carcasses, all shot and left there on 

the river beds. There were also a 

couple of deer carcasses nearby.’’ 

He says the drivers come in from the 

bridges on State Highway 1and SH 70. 

It is illegal to carry acenterfire 

rifle along ariver bed unless going to 

DOC land, but there is no DOC land 

there, he says. 

It is alsoillegal to spotlight hunt in a 

river bed which is treated the same as 

Shot ... Adead sheep shot in the Conway River bed. 


aroad in most cases. 

Farmers say they have sat in the 

many huts located on paddocks higher 

up from the river banks, and watched 

the spotlight shooters in action at 

night. 

‘‘It has been on going for yearsbut 

this was the first time we have found 

dead sheep.’’ 

Another farmer discovered many 

dead sheep carcasses recently 

‘‘My sheep sometimes get through 

the fences and wander out on to the 

river beds. They are tagged and 

therefore private property and yet 

these shooters still shoot them. 

‘‘I know the river beds are full of 

deer and feral pigs, but why shoot my 

sheep?’’ 

Aneighbour of his discovered the 

latest bunch of sheep shot. 

‘‘There were eight lying on several 

spots along the river bed, some had 

been gutted or dismembered. It was 

obvious they had been shot to order for 

their meat.’’ 

He says it is not uncommon for 

farmers in the district to find they are 

short adozen or so sheep at times 

throughout the year. 

Atotal of 30 two tooths wererecently 

reported missing off anearby farm. 

He says hunters are quickly moving 

away from using spotlights as they can 

now legally purchase and use high 

powered thermal imaging units now. 

He says these poachers aresmart , 

but he and others are becoming more 

proactive about catching them or 

reporting them on the police rural 

lookout app. 

Official sources say hunters need 

permission from the land owner to be 

there, and river beds are always an 

issue as many are managed by Land 

Information New Zealand. 

Toitū Te Whenua /LINZ head of 

Crown Property, Sonya Wikitera, says 

LINZ is not issuing permits for 

recreational hunting on riverbeds 

they manage on behalf of the Crown. 

‘‘It is illegal for the public to 

spotlight on any DOC, or LINZ land, 

and we ask that the public reportany 

suspicious spotlighting to the police 

immediately.’’ 

Sergeant Rob Irvine, the Hurunui 

subarea supervisor, says police are 

awareofillegal hunting practices in 

Hurunui, including in the Cheviot 

area and it remains aproblem that 

police can and do respond to. 

Enquires are ongoing into these 

reports. 

‘‘Police are awareoffurther illegal 

hunting reports posted to social media 

platforms. 

‘‘We ask when posting on social 

media about this activity you also 

report it to Police with as much detail 

as possible, as soon as possible.’’ 

Police are urging residents to keep 

an eye out for suspicious or unusual 

activity, and report any illegal or 

suspected illegal hunting, either to 

police on 111 if it is happening now, 

and through 105, or the rural lookout 

app if it’s after the fact. The app is 

available to download on the Apple 

App Store or Google Play store.

Rural health recruitmentchallenges remain 



Recruiting medical professions into 

rural areas remains achallenge, says a 

North Canterbury mayor. 

Health Minister Dr Shane Reti says 

Health New Zealand has made good 

progress in recruiting staff, but 

Hurunui Mayor Marie Blacksays rural 

areas are missing out. 

Mrs Black says it is reassuring to 

know progress has been made in 

recruitment. 

However she says there is little 

evidence of it in ‘‘primary health 

provision in country areas’’. 

The Hurunui districthas been doing 

its bit to encourage health students to 

consider working in rural areas, she 

says. 

Third year Otago Medical School 

students have been visiting the district 

eachAugust for several years. 

The initiative has been running for 10 

years, with the students visiting 

medical centres, St John, District 

Nurses, police, the North Canterbury 

Rural Support Trust and alocal 

preschool. 

‘‘If we can grow our own people, that 

is the best solution,’’ Mrs Black said. 

Training more health professionals is 

apriority in Budget 2024, with $22 

million set aside for doctor training. 

‘‘That will take us from an intake of 

589 this year to an intake of 614 from 

next year,’’ Dr Reti said. 

‘‘We are also progressing acost 

benefit analysis for aproposed third 

medical school through Waikato 

University, which will focus on primary 

and rural care.’’ 

While overseastrained medical 

professionals make avaluable 

contribution, Dr Reti said training 

young New Zealanders was more 

sustainable in the long term. 

‘‘Health workforce shortages are a 

problem in every country around the 

world. 

‘‘That is why it is so important we 

invest in training doctors and other 

health professionals here in New 

Zealand.’’ 

In the year to December 2023,Health 

NZ recruited more than 200 fulltime 

equivalent senior doctors, 2500 nurses, 

nearly 100 midwives, and more than 230 

scientific and technical staff. 

There were still shortages in mental 

health, critical care and midwifery, Dr 

Reti said. 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon says 

he is pleased the Government is 

addressing workforce shortages. 

Anew medical centre is being 

planned in Rangiora to offer urgent and 

after hours medical care, but it would 

need more medical professionals, he 

says. 

‘‘I am pleased with the Government’s 

announcement that funding will be 

allocated to ensure we are training 

more doctors and health care 

professionals here in New Zealand. 

‘‘This will help to alleviate doctor 

shortages particularly in the regions 

and rural communities.’’ 

The Kaikōura district faced similar 

challenges, and its over 65 population 

was expected to increase to onethird 

over the next 30 years. 

Takahanga Marae has hosted tertiary 

health students from around Aotearoa 

in recent years for athreeday Noho 

Marae visit. 

The initiative is apartnership 

between Te Tai oMarokura, aMaori 

health and social service provider in 

Kaikōura, and Hauora Taiwhenua / 

Rural Health Network’s careers 

programme.

Caring for plantings at Balmoral 


The HawardenWaikari Lions 

Club held aworking bee in 

conjunction with students from 

Hurunui College last week where 

12 students from the College 

assistedthe Lions Club members 

with caring for the native trees 

and shrubs they helped plant last 

year. 

The line of trees and shrubs 

border the formed walking track 

leading up to the historic 

Balmoral Lookout which offers 

expansive views over the 

Culverden, Balmoral Forest and 

Hurunui River catchment areas. 

Lions member Terry Stevens 

says the ongoing drought 

conditions in the Hurunui area 

have affected the survival rate of 

the plantings, but everyone was 

happy to see many were still 

growing despite the trying 

conditions. 

The students assisted with 

clearing around the plants and 

applying amulch of wool 

crutchings and dags to keep them 

growing. 

Terrysays they did agreat job 

and the Lions were very 

appreciativeofthe student's 

assistance.

Glenmark-Cheviot to hostthe grand final 

RUGBY 

Collated BY PETER WILLIAMS 

Itwill be abig day at the Omihi 

Domain on Saturday when 

GlenmarkCheviot host 

Prebbleton in the final of the 

Luisetti Seeds Combined 

competition. 

In very contrasting matches 

they were the teams to emerge 

victorious from two pulsating 

semifinals. 

Waihora led throughout its 

semifinal against Prebbleton at 

Tai Tapu, but at 2415 with only a 

few minutes remaining, 

Prebbleton scored aconverted 

try and aclutch penalty goal in 

injury time to take it through to 

the final with a2425 win. 

GlenmarkCheviot lookedto 

make no race of it as it piled on 

five first halftries, leading 357 at 

one stage. 

But Southbridge showed what 

atalented and determined side it 

was by storming back and closing 

to within just six points with four 

minutes of play on the clock, but 

fallingshort 4135. 

Two other North Canterbury 

teams secured some silverware 

for themselves in the lower 

divisions. 

Ashley’s victory overKaiapoi 

secured it the Canterbury Rugby 

Supporters Club Trophy, while 

Woodend’s decisive 243 victory 

over Saracens in the Plaque 

section won it the trophy. 

Given three weeks ago they 

were languishing at the bottom of 

the table without awin, it is 

particularly gratifying for the 

club to have finished this 

competition with two wins. 

With no other senior matches 

beingplayed this Saturday, it is 

hoped North Canterbury rugby 

supporterswill head to Omihi for 

the Grand Final for the Luisetti 

Seeds Cup. 

GlenmarkCheviot vSouthbridge 

It took Glenmark Cheviot just 

two minutes to post the first try. It 

stormed immediately on to attack 

and from a5metre lineoutitwas 

veteran prop, Andrew Zuppicich, 

arguably playing the best rugby of 

his lengthy career, who barged 

over. 

Two minutes later, 

Southbridge retaliatedwith a 

converted try of its own, but from 

that point on GlenmarkCheviot 

took control, dominating the 

territorial battle and piling on a 

constant flow of points. 

Up front, Harry Allen and 

Zuppicich led the way. Flanker 

Richard Taylor turned in a‘‘manof 

thematch’’effort. Indeed, it 

was an impressive performance 

from the whole pack. and the 

backs did their bit too. 

Before the first quarter was 

over, the home team had scored 

four tries,two of them to fullback 

Harry Murray, playing his first 

game for five weeks. 

He twice exploited gaps on the 

blind side to go over untouched. 

Mike Keane, playing at firstfive, 

also found space on the blind and 

his perfectly weighted grubber 

kick was gatheredupbythe evervigilant 

flanker, James Kellow 

for another try in the righthand 

corner. 

By winningvirtually all the 

possession, GlenmarkCheviot 

had camped in Southbridge 

territory virtually all half, 

meaning whenever it was 

awarded apenalty kick it was 

likely to be inakickable position. 

While the freeflowing nature 

of the rest of the half was 

anythingbut the traditional 

finals footy,captain Andrew Hull 

did doff the cap to the ‘‘Finals 

Blueprint’’ by taking two shots at 

goal when they presented 

themselves. 

The multitalented goalkicking, 

hooker, Nick Hide 

obliged andwhen rangy lock, Ben 

Morriss capped afineindividual 

performance by scoring. 

GlenmarkCheviot shot out to a 

357lead andthe game seemed 

all but over as acontest. 

However, with halftime up on 

the clock acouple of 

indiscretions spoiled anear 

perfect half from the home team.

more attacking intent. Soon after

converted try from aquick tap

Two further penalties by Hyde 

kept Southbridge at arm’s length, 

but when the visitors scored a 

fifth try (all of which were

Ashley vKaiapoi 

Aclosely contested Division 2 

curtainraiser between Ashley 

and Kaiapoi, won by the home 

team 3026, set the scene 

perfectly for the senior match, 

being even throughout. Tight 

forwards, Sam Regan (Ashley) 

and Zac Andrews (Kaiapoi) 

traded early tries. 

If anything,Ashley had the best 

of the first half. It was helped in 

no small measure by Kaiapoi’s 

illdiscipline –they were down to 

13 players at one point. The best 

try of the half came when Luke 

Gold, showing his versatility by 

filling in at halfback, latched on 

to asimple 8to9move, delivered 

awelltimed pass to Anthony 

Tavendale who celebrated his 

50th appearance for Ashley by 

hitting the gap at speed and 

scoring on the right edge. 

This allowed Ashley to take a 

157 lead into the second half, but 

the game really sprung to life 

when Lance Taylor, playing at 

half back, caught the home side 

napping with aquick tap which 

created anumerical overlap for 

Jared Gilmore to score in the 

corner. 

Taylor’s excellent conversion 

and subsequent penalty gave 

Kaiapoi the lead for the first time 

in the match, and the game’s 

intensity lifted with Ashley 

launching aseries of attacks 

which went unrewarded because 

of Kaiapoi’s excellent defence. 

Eventually, though, Ashley did 

find away through when Gold 

attacked the line and displaying a 

slightof hand with aperfectly 

timed pass, feeding Matt Couch, 

who went over unchallenged. 

Ashley also got good value from 

their bench which was 

highlighted when Blake Walesby 

ran 30 metres before being 

tackled just short of the line. The 

subsequent pop pass fed to the 

evergreen Andre Barrett, filling 

in as reserve hooker, saw him 

score afairytale try that will get 

longer in running metres the 

more times it is told. 

Kaiapoi was rewarded late in 

the piece with aintercept try to 

Max Dunbar who relished every 

opportunity he had on attack. 

For the purist the battle of the 

two number 6’s was ahighlight of 

the game with both having ahuge 

work rate. Kaiapoi’s Gilmore was 

outstanding over the ball at ruck 

time while Nick Sim was 

industrious, and particularly 

stoic on defence for Ashley. 

Ashley 30 (Sam Regan, Matt 

Couch, Andre Barrett tries, 

Anthony Tavendale 1try, 1 

penalty, Cannan Elvines, 1 

penalty, 1conversion, Corbin 

Mechin 1conversion) beat 

Kaiapoi 22 (Zach Andrews, Jared 

Gilmore, Max Dunbar tries, 

Lance Taylor 1conversion, 2 

penalties). 

Hurunui vRakaia 

Rakaia scored inside the opening 

five minutes which set the tone 

for the rest of the first half. 

Mistakes in general play and 

poor defence gifted the visitors 

too many opportunities to strike 

as they added two more triesto 

their advantage before halftime. 

The second half saw Hurunui 

make some inroads with 

possession, and it struck back 

twice, through Digby Heard. 

Rakaia then extended its lead 

again, with winger Laisiasa 

Bogitini finding space on the 

edge and racing over to score. 

Hurunui finally found some 

hard earned attacking 

momentum after that, and 

swinging the ball from sideline to 

sideline saw it make some metres 

and eventually score again 

through Logan Topp. Jono 

Schwass closed the eventual 

deficit to 7, identifying a 

mismatch on the shortside, and 

linking with Gus Waghorn, to 

dive over in the corner. Manofthematch, 

Louie Bethell, carried 

hard in close quarters and 

brought ahard edge to the 

contest with his chop tackling, 

while Logan Topp’s physicality 

with ball in hand set the platform 

to go wide. 

Hurunui 29 (Isaac Francis, Digby 

Heard (2), Logan Topp, Jono 

Schwass tries Heard 2 

conversions) lost to Rakaia 36. 

Ohoka vOxford 

Oxford kept the ball close and 

treasured possession. Its reward 

was atry by fullback Jack Muir. 

Ohoka responded positively with 

agood try to Tom Taylor, after 

some good forward drives, but 

Oxford dominated the second 

quarter scoring three further 

tries —Muir completing ahattrick. 

This gave the visitors avery 

handy 247 halftime lead. 

After aspirited halftime 

speech from their coach, Ohoka 

responded with two converted 

tries, narrowing the gap to just 

three points. 

It looked like Ohoka might take 

the lead, but Oxford fought well, 

and in the 77th minute the 

irrepressible Dan Brooker 

scored his second try of the day to 

put Ohoka away. 

Kurt Johnstone, Zane 

Patterson, Ricky Allin, and 

George Wedlake all impressed 

for Ohoka while, as usual, 

Brooker had an outstanding 

game for Oxford while the Muir 

brothers, Harry and Jack both 

contributed significantly to 

Oxford's win.Ohoka 21 (Tom

Hands on ... Swannanoa School students and their parents planted 567 seedlings at Brian 

and Rosemary Whytes North Canterbury farm last month. 


Seedlings planted 

Agroup of Year 5Swannanoa School 

students saw their year long native 

seedling project come to fruition when 

they planted their seedlings at Brian and 

Rosemary Whyte’s Swannanoa farm in 

North Canterbury last month. 

The students have been raising native 

seedlings in agreenhouse at their 

school. 

The greenhouse and plants were 

provided by Waimakariri Irrigation 

Limited (WIL) as part of abiodiversity 

project which aims to enhance and 

improve ecological values throughout 

the 44 000hectare area covered by the 

irrigation scheme. 

WILs biodiversity project lead Dan 

Cameron says the students were excited 

to get involved with planting their 

seedlings, and it was positive to see 

parents join the planting day. 

‘‘We have been working together with 

the school for acouple of years now. 

‘‘The idea is for the students to grow 

their own seedlings and for them to 

decide which project they would like to 

contribute the plants to once they are 

mature enough to plant out. 

‘‘In this case, we had 160 plants from 

the school with the remaining 367 plants 

grown in agreenhouse on Brian and 

Rosemary’s property.’’ 

Dan was also heartened to get positive 

feedback from another WIL shareholder 

who attended the planting day who 

indicated interest in holding asimilar 

planting day at their farm. 

‘‘The key to the success of this type of 

project is that farmers can see what 

their peers are doing and then put up 

their hand to get involved. 

‘‘The idea is for it to happen locally, 

and organically, as it is about farmers 

and the community working together 

with the irrigation cooperative to 

improve the environment for everyone. 

Other local schools involved in the 

biodiversity improvement project 

including, West Eyreton School and Cust 

Preschool, will be planting their native 

seedlings at reserves and along riparian 

margins near Oxford this month.

Disestablishment welcome 

Federated Farmers welcomes the 

Government announcement the He Waka 

Eke Noa partnership will be 

disestablished immediately. 

‘‘The previous Government were too 

focused on pricing farmers, driving blindly 

towards unachievable, political, 

unscientific methane reduction targets,’’ 

Federated Farmers president Wayne 

Langford says. 

‘‘There was acomplete disregard for the 

significant and unjustifiable costs this 

would place on hardworking farming 

families and the wider New Zealand 

economy.’’ 

Mr Langford says Federated Farmers 

would never accept aplan that would see 

20 percent of sheep and beeffarms, and 5% 

of dairy farmers, priced out of existence. 

‘‘From day one Federated Farmers 

made it clear that we had three firm 

bottom lines when it comes to climate 

policy that we were unwilling to 

compromise on,’’ he says. 

‘‘As soon as it became clear He Waka 

Eke Noa wasn’t going to be able to meet 

those bottom lines, that’s when we walked 

away from the negotiating table.’’ 

Federated Farmers’ bottom lines were 

that methane targets would be reviewed, 

viable and costeffective tools would be 

available for farmers, and no emissions 

leakage would occur. 

‘‘There is aclear acknowledgement that 

Kiwi farmers are going to need tools and 

technology so we can reduce emissions 

without reducing our production or 

exports. 

‘‘It’s positive to see the Government 

continuing to support the development of 

these practical tools that are of critical 

importance to the New Zealand economy.’’

Plantings protecting significant sites 

During the last seven years 

over 5000 native seedlings 

have been planted as part 

of Waimakariri Irrigations 

biodiversity project. 

The project was 

launchedin2018 after 297 

sites of ecological interest 

were identified across the 

irrigation schemes 

44,000hectare command 

area. 

Fourteen projects are 

under way with two 

projects at the Cust River, 

three projects at Burgess 

Stream and one project 

each at the Old Eyre and 

Hunters streams. 

WIL biodiversity project 

lead Dan Cameron says the 

initiative aims to protect 

existing areas of ecological 

significance while also 

identifying sites for 

restoration that can 

improve biodiversity 

across the entire 

catchment. 

‘‘It’s not about doing 

projects here and there. 

We focus on areas of 

significance and look at 

sites that are connected to 

shareholder land and the 

wider catchment.’’ 

The concept of 

connectivity is key to Dan’s 

work, and he believes this 

will drive the success of the 

project over the long term. 

‘‘Connectivity is akey

abiodiversity project site on the Burgess Stream in Swannanoa. 


principle of biodiversity, 

and we can’t work on 

habitat creation and 

restoration in isolation. 

‘‘We need to consider 

connections between each 

site to eventually create an 

ecological corridor that 

provides pathways for 

nativefauna to follow. 

‘‘This is alongterm 

projectover 30 to 40 years 

that extends beyond the 

irrigation scheme.’’ 

We havealready 

included local schools in 

this project and over time 

will broaden the scope to 

other organisations and the 

wider community. 

WIL CEO Brent Walton 

says the map of key sites 

producing during the 2018 

biodiversity survey has 

proved to be auseful tool 

for engaging with 

shareholders. 

‘‘Having this map of all 

the sites has given our 

farmers avisual idea of 

NairnElectrical, proudlysupportingrural Canterbury since1975. 

how the work that they are 

doing on their farms 

connects with the entire 

catchment. 

‘‘If we work our way up 

from the mouth of the 

Waimakariri River there 

are areas where we have 

connections, and if we can 

fill in those areas, we can 

create agood pathway.’’ 

The project has used 

technology such as drones 

to efficiently gather data 

from each restoration site 

Public Notices 

which then can be shared 

via mapping software. Dan 

says technology is also 

helpful for practical 

aspects such as planting 

near farm infrastructure. 

‘‘We use the drone 

together with mapping 

software which provides 

data and metrics to track 

our progress. 

‘‘It is very efficient, and 

we use it to measure 

everything including 

practical issues such as 

which native plants will fit 

under pivots.’’ 

While improving and 

protecting biodiversity is a 

regulatory requirement for 

WIL, Brent and the cooperative 

view ecological 

restoration as part of their 

commitment to the broader 

community. 

‘‘Primarily, it’sthe right 

thing to do. 

‘‘When you look at it from 

acatchment approach 

what we do here on our 

farms impacts anonWIL 

shareholder and the 

community downstream. 

‘‘We want to improve 

what we already have here 

in terms of biodiversity, 

and then work together 

with other organisations 

and the community to 

create those longterm 

connections from the sea to 

the mountains.’’

“The Key ofknowledge (Luke 11:52) 

BIBLE PROPHECY AND THE 

BIRTH OFISRAEL 

Throughout history, Israel, the people, have been 

a focus in World events. They have been treated 

inhumanely in Pogroms(Russian-devastation,orriot), 

mob attack against the persons and property of a 

religious, racial or national minority, banishment and 

forced conversion. But still,after centuries of attempted 

genocide, they remain a vital people who have 

contributed to mankind, in all the arts,music, science 

and medicine. Israel, the land, although renamed by 

Emperor Hadrian as Palaestina, orPalestinian Syria, 

so that Israel would be ‘lost’ to the World, has been 

brought back from ignominy. What isthe explanation 

for this amazing event? The Bible is the only place 

that prophetically reveals the movements of Israel, the 

people and the land.
